So finally stopped being tight and got my 18s refurbed in Vauxhall technical grey. It's the same colour used on the corsa VXR Nurburgring editions alloys.

Happy with the outcome so far, can't wait to see them on !!

Fovargue i want to ask you what tyre size do you have on the 18" alloy ?? 225 ?? I ask you because i also have 1.4 16v model with 205 width of tyre . I am afraid that 225 width will make my car really slow . Can you please tell me your experiance ?? I want to buy this alloy but i am afraid that 225 width (from 205 which i now have ) will make my car slower and more fuel consumption because i have 90 hp . Thanks

Not only 205 but i choose 205 with 16" alloy because i have 90 hp and was afraid that 17" alloys with 225 would make my car slow and more fuel consumption . But i am thinking of buying 17" alloys. 225 is problem for my car ?? What do you think ?

Well these are 18s buddy and the car feels no different to when it had 17s.

I had a new Astra which was a 1.7cdti and this is around the same in 0-60 and top speed ?

So the wheels are home and she's finished.

My mate even gave her a wash ?

Couldn't be happier with the result and I'm starting to fall in love with the car all over again !

Got myself a bargain.
